Linux shell script deletes the core files from a particular directory in Redhat

[Adelaid]

you can go into directory in which you want to remove files..then

rm -fR $pwd/*

I believe he means “core” files…as in dumps that occur in servers.

Use the following command:

• find -name core
• dump to a file
• then grep the file to conduct a rm-f of the core dumps
• Now make that into a script and make it executable
• Half the fun is figuring it out!

If you want to remove all the core files from a particular directory structure, you could do:

find  -name core -exec rm {} \;

for example, to remove all core files under /usr/lib, you could use:

find /usr/lib -name core -exec rm {} \;
